mcjane	posted on November 7, 2005 05:46:24 PM new Except I didn't bid. What is to be gained by this kind of scam? The item # in the email is clickable. I didn't click on it, but did look up the auction number & it does exist. It's for a Bath & Bodyworks product. Subj: eBay Bid Cancelled...

mcjane	posted on November 7, 2005 06:25:47 PM new I'm sure of that, just don't know what they get out of you clicking on a link.

sparkz	posted on November 7, 2005 06:37:49 PM new Tom is right. It will either lead to a phony sign in page, or it will plant a trojan on your machine. Either way, they are after your password so they can hijack your account. Probably a Romanian wanting to list a couple hundred laptops.

agate18	posted on November 7, 2005 07:14:56 PM new It was a romanian who hijacked my account. we actually got him to write to a friend of mine. this turkey was selling mobile phones. we eventually got his name and address. he lives in london. his isp is registered to a romanian isp. to a mobile phone. do i give this info to ebay or scotland yard.?
sparkz	posted on November 7, 2005 07:23:17 PM new By all means, give it to Ebay. They are familiar with the background of the case and they will know the appropriate authorities to pass it on to. It won't be as likely to get put on the back burner at Scotland Yard or the FBI if Ebay sends it to them. Big money talks!!

agate18	posted on November 7, 2005 07:47:45 PM new Thanks sparkz. i dont mind who has him charged, so long as it is done.
